Emmys 2025 Prediction: The Pitt vs Severance, Hacks vs The Studio – Who Will Win?

The upcoming 77th Emmys are gearing up to be a showdown between Apple TV+ and HBO/HBO Max. The dramas The Pitt and Severance are gunning for top prizes, while comedy newcomers The Studio and last year’s winner Hacks face off. In some categories, the competition is tough, especially for supporting comedy actresses.

On a recent episode of The Awardist podcast, EW critic Kristen Baldwin and Sr. Editor Joyce Eng made their final predictions for the winners. For limited series, they both believe Adolescence will take the top prize, with stars Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty also snagging awards. The lead actor category is split, with Kristen picking Colin Farrell from The Penguin, and Joyce going for Adolescence star Stephen Graham.

In the drama segment, Joyce predicts The White Lotus will leave empty-handed. For supporting actress, she bets on The Pitt’s Katherine LaNasa, while Kristen leans towards Carrie Coon. Supporting drama actor is a toss-up, with Joyce rooting for Severance’s Tramell Tillman and Kristen backing Walton Goggins. In the lead categories, Kristen is all in for Kathy Bates, while Joyce is banking on Bella Ramsey. They both agree that Noah Wyle from The Pitt should take the lead drama actor prize.

In the comedy realm, the competition is stiff. Supporting actress is hard to predict, with last year’s winner Liza Colón-Zayas facing off against Hannah Einbinder and Janelle James. Catherine O’Hara may also steal the spotlight. Joyce and Kristen are torn between Harrison Ford from Shrinking and Ike Barinholtz from The Studio for supporting actor. The Studio’s strong showing at the Creative Arts Emmys adds to the uncertainty.

Ultimately, Kristen and Joyce both have their sights set on The Pitt for the top award. The emotional journey and impact of the show seem to have won them over, despite the acclaim for Severance. The Emmys are always full of surprises, so we’ll have to wait and see who takes home the coveted awards in 2025.
